We enjoyed every minute of our 4 night stay at Raine Cottage. It is perfectly situated in the beautiful, peaceful countryside yet not too far away from Alfreton and the supermarket. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. The view is amazing and we were joined every morning by "Alf" the robin looking for crumbs as we drank our coffee in the garden. We will definitely return.
